China has developed massively from the year 1957 and this trend is still continuing with great difference compared to all previous years. Till date China has more than 600 industrial silicon enterprises in operation and more than 200 company’s carry out the production of industrial silicon. There are no products of dimension or specification that the Chinese metal silicon manufacturers can’t produce.
While comparing the production of industrial silicon in China to that of other countries, there are only 50 or less than fifty silicon metal manufacturers in more than 10 countries. But China itself is having more than 200 silicon metal manufacturers as mentioned earlier. This consists of different industries particularly, ferrous metallurgy, nonferrous metallurgy, machinery and chemical industry.
All these industries together make China’s annual output of silicon higher. So we can undoubtedly say that China has a pivotal role in the development of the world silicon industry and related industries. The rise in silicon metal production is visible through the year-on-year statistics, which clearly says that a major growth is visible in the production of silicon all over China. The manufacturers may face challenges and problems but the production is not disturbed at a high rate.
